Kiesanowski back in yellow, Lill takes over men's lead

Kiesanowski takes field sprint for lead
|
The first real road stage of the Mt. Hood Cycling Classic was a circuit race climbing up to the Cooper Mountain ski resort, with the women climbing to the top four times. While a break did form early on the group was all together on the final lap. France's Jeanie Longog-Ciprelli continued to be a one-woman team, attacking multiple times before and on the final climb. However, prologue winner Joanne Kiesanowski (TIBCO) would not be denied another yellow jersey, as she sprinted for her second stage win followed by Longog-Ciprelli.
"There was lots of attacking going on and I just kept waiting and waiting, staying in the top five trying to make the selection," she told Cyclingnews. "Aaron's did a lot on the front for the climb, and then Longo by herself!"
The yellow jersey on the road was worn by Tina Pic (Colavita-Sutter Home) which she gained for winning yesterday's criterium stage. Pic hung tough among the climbers, aided by a slow pace for much of the race, but could not find the legs for the sprint on the final ascent. "I was hoping to go at least for the sprint but I gotta work on the climbing a little more," she said.
On the final climb team-mate Tiffany Cromwell was giving her leader a push up the steep sections. "I was like, 'Tif just go, don't worry about grandma back here!'" she said laughing. Pic knows that her place now is working for her team-mates, and Cromwell is their best-placed rider. "I'll work for the girls. Tiffany finished up there and she is strong as an ox!"
Tomorrow's stage will be the defining moment for the race, a tough 18.5-mile time trial with tough climbing along the Columbia River gorge. Kiesanowski admitted that she is in unfamiliar territory with the race lead. "Let's just say I've only worn a yellow jersey like once or twice in my life, so it's a new experience for me! And starting last in the time trial will be a little crazy."
She also said that she is not known as a time trial specialist by any means, but is hoping that will change tomorrow. "Typically I'm not a time trialist, but I've definitely improved, as evident by the prologue. I told someone the other day that I will be a time trialist on Friday!"
The Aaron's team suffered a tough break on the day, as their designated climber Kristin Sanders, for whom they had been working for all day, crashed on the third QOM sprint and was forced to abandon after losing briefly consciousness and with stitches in her elbow. "Leah Hobson was coming around me on the right and honestly the next thing I know Carmen is picking me up off the ground. Somehow my front wheel was taken out from the right."
Her team had set the pace up the climb every lap to set her up, led by strong rider Meredith Miller. "Meredith is just amazing, she is just wonder woman! I don't know how she does it. She would take it from out on the highway and ride a nice steady pace all the way up."
Lill jumps at right time into lead
|
The men's race featured a large ten-rider break that rolled off early and had almost every team represented. But a lack of coherence in the group insured its demise, with the Bissell team riding the front all day to keep the race intact heading into tomorrow's time trial. With the break in sight the BMC team, with only a half-team here, pitched in to the effort to close things down. At the base of the climb the remnants of the break were swept up and it was a race to the top, with BMC's Darren Lill remembering last year's suffering on this course to make his revenge with a solo win.
"At the start of the stage my legs didn't feel that great, and I have bad memories of this stage from last year," he said. "I was just praying that today would be different. I put last year out of my mind and tried to conserve as much because the stage can be won in the final kilometre of the climb – it's the steepest part but then it flattens. If you can carry the momentum over the top it will be difficult for the group to catch. I just attacked all out and got the gap, but I felt like my legs were going to fall off! "
Lill held off the field which was led by second-place overall Rory Sutherland (Health Net-Maxxis). Sutherland, winner of last week's Joe Martin race in Arkansas, said he and team-mate Phil Zajicek were being watched by prologue winner Ben Jazques-Maynes (Bissell). "The other guys were just looking around and it looked like Jacques-Maybes was just covering me and Phil," he said about Lill's attack. "Phil and I got together and he rode as hard as he could, but once you get over the top with a gap that's it. Another day of seconds!"
The main break had all of the major teams represented, but some were representing their own interests. "I had a bad day but if everyone would have ridden together we would have had a chance," said Toyota-United's Chris Wherry. "It was just really unorganised and guys were attacking with 40 miles to go."
One of the guys sitting on the break was Burke Swindlehurst, looking out for his Bissell team's GC plans. "I was sitting on to protect our interests for the time trial, as were both the Health Net riders. That encouraged a lot of attacks, guys attacking all day," noted Swindlehurst.
"Bissell did most of the work and did a really good job keeping a steady tempo," said Lill. "The break was pretty big but started coming back in drips and drabs. We could see them at one point and knew they were going to come back, so we put a few guys on the front on the last two laps to make sure."
As for Lill's GC hopes, he is happy to have exacted his revenge on the course and will give his best shot in the time trial tomorrow. And even though the team is shorthanded, tomorrow is a one-rider show.
"Tomorrow is the time trial and that is up to me. If it goes well maybe I can retain the jersey. Even though we don't have as many guys we have a strong bunch."
With two riders in the top five, Health Net-Maxxis is looking strong – either with Sutherland or Zajicek. "I've just come off Joe Martin, and Georgia was pretty full-on for me. It's been pretty full-on all season. I don't feel fantastic but that doesn't mean I'm bad. I think I had a good day today and I think we both have a card to play. We can both have a good time trial tomorrow; it just depends on who has a great one."
